Learing together for OCAJP 7 ?

[Peter Schulze]

Hi all!
Well i finally decided to be better and get the certification from Oracle and to show some employee that i am actually good and need high pay.
Currently i am selfemployed programmer, with two years java experience mostly from my last work and some experience at the university and other company experience as apprentice.
I jumped on JEE hype train , but i starting from small and get the basics up and ready first.
So anyway, i like to study in groups not only it's give motivation but helping each other making the overall java community strong.
Lets talk about my schedule , i will take the test at may 2 2016, so anyone who wish to learn with me in live skype voice scheme is welcome, mostly at evenings or weekends.
Locationwise i living in Germany, so anyone overseas you need to adjust your time to my local time!
Yea and i definitely will be active at this forum.
Regionalwise , yes i know about java user groups, but in my area its difficult , i need to take the train like 30 minutes to the next city, which actually in my view counter productive.
I hope i get the results fast...

Hi Peter Schulze,

First of all, a warm welcome to CodeRanch!

Great decision! But creating a CodeRanch account is even a better one

It might be very difficult to find a partner due to several reasons, e.g. learning speed (yo might learn much faster than your partner), time to spend for studying, different time zones,... But no worries, here in this forum you'll have plenty of people who are studying and preparing together with you for the OCAJP exam. And others will benefit from the questions/doubts you have, like you will benefit as well from the questions/doubts of others. And every rancher has her own story: an experienced Java developer, a school graduate, a system engineer who wants to switch to Java development,...

In the OcajpFaq (besides other very useful information) and this thread you'll find an overview of all available resources (study guides, mock exams,...) to thorougly prepare yourself for the certification exam. And on the OcajpWallOfFame you'll find plenty of (links to) experiences from other ranchers (including resources they have used). So it can be useful to determine which resources are useful (and which are not).

Awesome! Looking forward to your questions, doubts, and other contributions in this forum.

Happy studying!
Kind regards,
